The Monster Truck Kid

Coming up next in the news, quickie, how doctors were baffled by a sweet potato.

That is how it started kid-credit, shows that nothing multiply like a rabbit.

Tune in zone out, crank it up, feed the habit.

I wanna hang out with my friends, rockin' on a radio.

I wanna know no more boys can escape, talkin' on a radio.

It's time to turn the food just once again.

Oh baby, here we go.

KT Kristina Benzkin.

Hold up on our radio.

Ah yes, hello and welcome everybody.

Happy Thursday, it's the world-famous spin and skin show, 97.1.

The Eagle and we have all our hands on deck today for what's gonna be a great show.

Ben Rodgers, Jeff Skin Wade, the Wichita Falls Wild Card, Kelvin KT Turner,

and the pride and joy of two local bands, Oatmeal Pizza and Orange Peel Sunshine.

By the way, Oatmeal Pizza, the popular local Nirvana cover band,

performing next Saturday at Twilight.

Kristina, K-Ray, Little Baby Cornbread, Rick.

Little Baby Cornbread!

So much to get into the show.

Whenever you play the mitises, they come back.

They sound so good in the...

Your town is being quarantine voice?

Yeah, just work.

It just seems super awkward.

There's been a lot of market research on that, and it's very impacted.

It's really magical.

Okay, by the way, today is a big day because of the madness, the tournament and all that stuff.

And I had a question for KT.

KT is doing some incredible thing.

Everyone's saying it, everyone's saying I have it, but they do.

So the sports predict app, which is really cool.

KT has got some magical things going on.

And KT, I was like, okay, I haven't turned in my bracket on sports predict.

Is it too late?

It's not even a bracket.

So people can still jump on board to explain what it is.

Yeah, so basically, sports predict is awesome because they're like, hey, we want everyone to have a chance to win stuff.

So after each round of the tournament, they're going to give away $100 of Pluckers gift card.

I love it.

And thank you to Pluckers as well.

Pluckers with rocks.

When you get people working together, we like that.

I have a question.

Is sports predict are those folks Austin people?

Yes.

And Pluckers is originally Austin people.

This synergy is amazing.

So basically, they gave away already the first price for the first four games.

The play in games that Texas was involved in, SMU was involved in.

So today and tomorrow is round one.

And at the end of round one, whoever has the most points on the leaderboard will get the $100 Pluckers gift card.

Let's go.

Okay.

Another one on service.

Totally kicking ass.

By the way, that old thing.

So we had this audio where we were the, we were the eagle before the freak.

And I was recording KT and I was asking him about.

What?

Lot of trucks because there's roadhouse.

Yeah.

I was asking about roadhouse.

Like what are the monster trucks?

What's your favorite member?

And he was.

Yeah.

Please play that.

I don't know if I had.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, there's a 30 second long one.

Play.

Play.

Play.

Play.

Okay.

As for the big foot glass.

Bad monster truck killer.

Big foot.

The great deal.

The tallest.

The kicking ass.

Big foot.

That was awesome.

So when we died, just bang and he crashes all the glass.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

So I went to try it.

We were talking about that the other day because KT I found a picture of him.

I don't know.

I was in the only Gazette when he was just a little kid.

It was a cover story of the local newspaper.

Boy turns four.

Crazy.

He was so cute.

And my wife was like, look how curly his hair is.

His hair is so curly.

He's so cute.

And he has a Steve Bouchel, a little baby mullet.

And it's going.

Kevin Turner loves monster trucks like Taurus.

Big foot.

I'm like, why is the newspaper covering that he likes monster trucks at four years old?

That's what I was all about really.

I really couldn't have any conversation with me with that.

It was somehow turning into Bigfoot and Gravedigger or Taurus.

And it was front page above the full news.

It was the type of thing.

It's small town papers really stay in business by grandparents.

Yeah.

Putting their grandkids and running back back then when people read newspapers.

So this is this is true story.

And I don't think I've ever read any of this.

I need to go read some of it.

But apparently my mother's grandfather.

I guess later in his life, you know, is a mobile.

And he wrote a newspaper column for Rockwall.

And I think it's called like looking out the window or something,

just making observations about Rockwall looking out the window.

And it was like a column in the paper.

That's that is some small town stuff right there.

A lot of mocks in this morning.

Did he uncover some like cheating scandals or anything?

No, I think it was a humor column.

I need to dig some up.

I'm sure Gator is listening right now.

And she's scrambling to find something.

Susie's back at Joe's door again today.

Interesting.

You said that my her sister, my aunt Susie, turns 84 on Friday.

Okay.

So I'm saying that you brought up Susie.

That's part of this Rockwall column that we're talking about.

Also loves monster trucks.

Yeah.

Okay, so we were talking about this.

I went back to find this on Instagram.

So I went back to see the videos I made of it at the time.

And all the audio is stripped from it.

Why?

Because I think that music is no longer has...

They no longer have a deal with Instagram on that song.

On the Angry Birds song behind it.

Whatever that song was that I chose over time.

So you don't know where that song is?

I don't know what it was because I got it off of Instagram.

Because I was just sitting there listening to a guy.

Man, I want to put a beat behind it.

Right.

It's a hot fire.

Great.

It's a great song.

It's weird that the memory of that movie.

Because so much happens in that movie.

But that's the one thing as a kid that I really stuck with me.

Yeah, I think the problem is it.

Ben was asked you to talk about a movie you didn't know anything about.

No, you remember it was that giant truck that I just threw a window.

The life left his body.

I'm having such a...

I'm like, man, I was watching Road House last night.

Do you...

What do you think about it?

He goes...

I don't really remember it.

Wait.

There's a camera in his face.

Hey.

Tell me about this movie from before you were born.

Oh, remember.

And then when you...

A little motor truck kid.

And he's a guy who always alters voices and slows them down.

So he knows the value of that.

Yeah, that is fun.

It's so...

It just makes someone sound dumb and you slow their voice down.

Yeah.

Oh, my...

Oh, my...

I mean, it's five or six years later.

It's, you know, we say, I don't really remember all the time.

My personal life.

I don't really remember.

Do you know what it's like, too?

And here's the scene you probably have never seen.

But he kind of starts talking like Bill Murray and Stripes.

When he's talking about Lee Harvey and his friend tried to make it with the cow.

Yes.

A friend tried to make it with the cow.

Well, we're all been running on a Thursday all of the madness.

We will get back to the madness at four o'clock.

But coming up next, we're going to take us in things skin is tracking.

I'm going to do a little pivot because I love this conversation so much.

Let's keep the nostalgia going.

Let's do a little nostalgia talking things skin is tracking next.

So we're just talking about it.

You'll have up to 12 questions about the games that you can answer.

For instance, today, do you think Texas is going to win?

Do you think for tomorrow?

Do you think Texas Tech is going to beat acronyms?

That's simple.

Just like that.

There are a lot of local teams in the tournament.

Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas.

SMU was knocked out last night sadly.

But you get the point like you can just answer those questions.

You don't have to know much about college basketball or anything.

I can't tell you that I sit and watch a ton of college basketball on the regular season.

I certainly do when the tournament starts.

So it's a lot of fun getting the action.

Don't worry about a bracket.

You can get to do that.

Just answer these questions.

You get in the leaderboard.

I beat skin.

And that made me feel really good.

I dominated him actually up on the leaderboard.

And that's important.

And you can dominate him and me and Ben and Christina as well.
